ALL BUSINESS: To convince someone like Jack Welch to write a column for you, it helps if you have some kind of preexisting relationship ??” the kind that comes from, for instance, having teamed up on a best-selling autobiography. That's the not-so-secret story behind "The Welch Way," a new advice feature that will appear biweekly in BusinessWeek, beginning with the current issue.

Executive editor John Byrne, who co-authored the former General Electric chairman's 2001 autobiography, "Jack: Straight From the Gut," said the column has been in the works for a long time. "There are very few people who are out there who give very smart pragmatic advice and he is at the top of the list, really," Byrne said. "You may see an occasional critical story here or there, but I think it's indisputable that he helped to keep GE at the top of its game."

ALL IN THE FLORIO FAMILY: Kelly Florio is going to work for her uncle Tom at Vogue. The recently married daughter of former Cond?© Nast chief executive officer and current Advance Magazine Group vice chairman, Steve Florio, just submitted her resignation from her post as a promotion assistant at Vanity Fair.

Time Pulls a Big Tease On Us

There was something strangely missing yesterday from Time magazine's breaking news that it had discovered photos of the president fraternizing with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff: what was missing were the very photos in question.

This was how Time explained the discrepancy: "Time has seen five photographs of Abramoff and the President that suggest a level of contact between them that Bush's aides have downplayed. While Time's source refused to provide the pictures for publication, they are likely to see the light of day eventually because celebrity tabloids are on the prowl for them."

In our experience, "refused to provide the pictures" translates to "This guy wants a bundle of dough and we're not willing to meet his price." Thus the reference to celeb tabs, which may well meet that price and run the photos (appearing next to Brangelina's baby, maybe?).
